Agreed. There a bit too close to your feet for my liking as well.

The rear of the bike is also weird as others have said, the front of it looks ok tho.

Personally I think the short cans look better on 'muscle' style bikes.

Is that actually a real bike, or a concept made up by MCN/bored yamaha employees?

Er, it's a V-Max - they may have improved a thing or two in the handling department, but would that ruin its 'character' somehow?

I'm not sure whether I like it or not - the engine looks superb, as do elements of the front end. Not so sure about the tail section...

its from yamaha, apparently its not exactly as the production bike would be, but suposedly a good representation of the 'look'. I guess the tail unit and seat arent finished yet.

That pic doesn't match the one in MCN. The MCN pic has a padded seat and looks a lot better. I think that one-piece body unit is prototype only.

The original V-Max has stubby pipes. When the V-Max came out in the eighties it was astoundingly ahead of its time and the ledendary handling wasn't that far away from its contemporaries. Today it's dated, but it's still an icon.

I love the new version. The pic above doesn't do it justice. Thumbs Up Hope it's at the NEC Smile
